I created for you a Christmas gift ! A newfree tutorial :
How to make Christmas Decorations ornaments.
So easy! Suitable for beginners too!
You will get beautiful colorful and unique results , and the possibilities are endless ...
I used my transfer papers, and if you still don't working with them, you should watch the basic demo video first, (click here) In the basic video, you can see how easy it is to create with my transfer papers.
Don't forget, you can transfer pictures of your kids and family too, and make exciting gifts!
Still we are in a complicated reality, in the world's weirdest country, but I've found something to be excited about, something to love: a new tutorial
Why did it took so long this time? The answer is unknown :) It's never easy to find an idea, to develop it, to nerture it, to improve it, to make it accsiable and doable, to film, to edit, to write, to translate, to pass it on to Aviva (=a friend) for a deep and serious proofreading, to hackle technical difficulties, to fix, to film again, to give up, to stop, to think about quitting... To get back to business, to progress, to make an effort... Yes, this is what it's like to write a tutorial, at least for me. This time, I had to do all of this twice...
Nevertheless, I don't give up, and a new tutorial was born!
What's in it?
Over 48 minutes video+and instruction notebook (pdf) with literall explantion of all the stages=two fun, colorful, techniques that open unlimited possibilities
Bonus: how to decorate your letters, with swirls and drawing in the kitchy and sweet "Shabby Chic" style,
+7 sign patterns (just print it and it's ready to use)
Diffuclty level: Basic. (and as always, I'm here for every question, request, or misunderstanding. Use mail to contact me.)
I haven't forgotten, I promised you a post about the beads city Jablonec nad Nisou in Prague. The post is ready- in Hebtew, But not in English .
Why?
I have a deal with my daughter,she translates for you, every long post, from Hebrew to English.
But
My daughter is a soldier ( According to the Defense Service Law, the enlistment to the Israeli Defense Forces is mandatory for all Israeli citizens who have turned 18) and in the last month, she culdn't find a moment for the translet job. She is very busy because of the terrible war with the "Hamas".
No, she is not staying in the war zone, but because of the war, she's very busy or very tired....
Our mood is not so good. I live near Tel Aviv, and we are suffering from the missiles, less then other areas) but still, nothing is easy here....in our country But meanwhile, I will try to focus on those issues that easier to understand :
I have for you a great recommendation for two great varnishes that I discovered recently. I made a short video for you (+ great tip in the end of the video). Go and get them.... https://www.facebook.com/ClayandPaintFactory
And more from my working table in the last days, an order for a customer, using my magic transfer paper and the Darwi varnish ( 2-3 layers )
Dont forget to share these 2 great varnishes!!!
Wish you peace and serenity, and see you in the next post.
Unfortunally, some of the days was accompanied by a sudden heat wave, which was tiring and exhausting, especially to the walking tourists....
The most disappointing part was to discover that when you want to cool off a bit in a cafe, a resturant or a shop, there is no air condioning :(((( Wow! No where to escape! Luckly our hotel was someplace central and accessiable, with excellent air conditioning, so we soon learned to run back to it wheneve we needed to cool off.
Even under the burning sun, the constant dampness on our skin, the sunscreen and the annoying carrige of water bottles on our backs, it was easy to see the capital of the Czech Republic in its full glory.
Pictures from the fair at the square -it was happy surprise for me to stumble upon this small wonderful fair on frieday morning. It's just the way I like it: Handmade works, style, demonstrations, and colors! Iimmideitly purchased those wonderfull brooches made from recycled paper, and at home I found the creator in this link:

Details form the classic sites and one unique souvenir shop.
Who ever saw the movie "The Best Offer" (highly recommended), must remember one of the last scences in the town's squere with the beautiful, acient astronimic watch appeering on the left picture
The dancing house of Frank Owen Gehry and the view you can see from the roof. Note the quotation by the talanted architect (on the left picture)
A short trip to Plzen (one hour ride on the bus from Prague), a city with a central station that stopped working around the sixstees :)) A totally vintage station -and it doesn't even know it! :))) The shops, the signs with the ancient writing... :)
And-that's right! Here is the home of the famous Plzen Beer (as well as Sakuda Cars, which gone through a lot of changes since the fall of the communism, and survived ) and even on this forgotten corner, next to the central station, I've found beautiful, colorful houses, and a vintage hotel... One of many others....

The big synagogue in Plzen :
Next week, a post about a wonderful day in- Jablonec nad Nisou

I was standing at the big Watzalav Plaza, in front of Jan Palach, and remembered the black and white pictures of my childhood, when the soviets invaded the large plaza with their tanks, and brought the end of Prauge's spring...and still this song
... by Shalom Hanoch, sang by Aric Eienstein) played in my head )
